Stunning stained glass of the Church of St. Cyriacus in Westphalia. Thank you, Zephyrinus.
ReplyDeleteDelighted you approve of the Stained-Glass Window, Dante Peregrinus. I always think that such beautiful Liturgical accomplishments add so much to The Divine Liturgy.
DeleteSadly, I feel that such beautiful accomplishments are extremely rare in the The Novus Ordo. However, we must be extremely grateful that such beauty is still available. Thank You for your most welcome Comment.
